Question
Refer to the table below. A mountain range divides two populations of a lizard species (1 and 2), preventing gene flow between them. The populations are studied over many generations. At various times, individuals from both groups are captured and taken to the lab for mating experiments. The percentage of successful matings is shown in the table. According to the lineage species concept, the lineage splitting process began
12.Refer to the table below. A mountain range divides two populations of a lizard species (1 and 2), preventing gene flow between them. The populations are studied over many generations. At various times, individuals from both groups are captured and taken to the lab for mating experiments. The percentage of successful matings is shown in the table. According to the lineage species concept, the lineage splitting process began
in generation 0 and will be complete after thousands of generations. between generations 10 and 20 and is not yet complete. before the study began and was complete sometime between generations 40 and 50. in generation 10 and is complete. before the study began and will be complete after thousands of generations.Explanation / Answer
Answer:Based on the data given we can see that, a cross between species 1 X 1 and 2 X 2 is considered as the control. The cross between species 1 and 2 is the actual test experiment. At generation 10, the mating experiment gives 100% results, which means that the species have not been split yet. However, at generation 20, the mating experiment gives 93% results, which can be interpreted as the start of lineage splitting process. Thus the correct answer is, the lineage splitting process began between generations 10 and 20 and is not yet complete.
